In light of the rich history and similarities in ministry settings and approach, the Hawaii Pacific Baptist Convention (HPBC) and the International Mission Board (IMB) signed a historic strategic agreement in September 2020. The stated purpose of this partnership agreement is that “The Hawaii Pacific Baptist Convention and the International Mission Board seek to partner together to mobilize Hawaii Pacific Baptists to pray, give, and go with IMB teams to the nations, and to strengthen Hawaii Pacific Baptists as they embrace their responsibility to fulfill the Great Commission, both locally and globally.” As part of the partnership, members of the International Mission Board (IMB) Mobilization Team met with pastors and missions leaders from 26 churches in Honolulu, Kona, Hilo, and Wailuku during the first week of October. Those gathered learned how Hawaii Pacific Baptists and be equipped to connect with IMB personnel on the field.
